Brian: hi
Nikky: hi, brian
Brian: it was a great pleasure to see your 3-2 defeat of portugal(葡萄牙)
Nikky: it's a huge pleasure, and historic(历史性的)!!
Brian: did u watch it?
Nikky: yeah, in the morning, we didn’t actually expect that.
Brian: that's a sunrise shock(日出后的惊喜), isn’t it?
【注】美国队对葡萄牙队的比赛是在美国东部时间5am和西部时间2am开始的。
Nikky: u can say that.
Brian: as I know, the US only beat England 1-0 in the world cup finals in 1950(美国只在1950年世界杯赛上打败过一次英格兰队)
Nikky: yes, so it was our most famous triumph(胜利).
Brian: did u work that day, it's not weekends?
Nikky: we got days off. (我们放假了)
Brian: so americans were as happy as u when they hear about the news, right? (美国人是不是跟你一样高兴?)
Nikky: yeah, we were so happy, but yesterday's euphoria(狂喜) was dampened(使沮丧)
Brian: for what?
Nikky: our captain Earnie Stewart would miss Monday's D match against Korea. (美国队队长斯图尔特可能不会参加星期一对韩国的比赛了)
Brian: I knew this guy, he is a perfect midfielder(中场).
Nikky: yes.
Brian: what happened to him, I just knew that he got injury somewhere(我只知道他身上受伤了).
Nikky: I don’t know either, It reported that he went off(下场) with a groin(腹沟)injury in the first half against Portugal.
Brian: so he will not be in the match against Korea?
Nikky: it's not likely, but we’ll see. (现在还不知道,要看情况)
Brian: so who will stand in for him again if, u know…. (如果他不能上的话,谁会代替他呢)
Nikky: Veteran, I guess
Brian: Veteran Cobi Jones?
Nikky: yes, he replaced Stewart on Wednesday, he would be the logical choice(他应该是合适的人选)
